The earliest other card is Magcargo 33/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and Yuka Morii illustrated this one. 28 other cards of Magcargo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Yuka Morii. I count 204 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

HS—Undaunted set binder is where a full HS—Undaunted set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Magcargo can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Yuka Morii clay cards. I still need this card.
